Martin Kemp wouldn’t have wanted to play both Kray twins on film.
The Spandau Ballet star – who starred with his brother Gary Kemp as infamous siblings Ronnie and Reggie Kray in 1990 biopic ‘The Krays’ – isn’t sure new biopic ‘Legend’, which sees Tom Hardy playing both brothers, have done the right thing with their casting.
He said: "Being really honest, I’m not sure if one actor playing two parts turns me on. I always find I sit there trying to find the join and how they’ve done it and I find that quite distracting but if anyone can do it he can do it.
"I don’t think I would have wanted to do it. I think it’s a trap that you can fall into because I think you can want to do it to test yourself if you could do it as an actor but I think it’s a little bit of a trap."
Because it’s been so long since he worked on ‘The Krays’, Martin feels very "removed" from the project.
He said: "I’m a fan of all those gangster films. We shot our film such a long time ago now that I’m kind of removed from it, it’s almost as if someone else shot it."
